      From: coulon@cacas.pam.obs-nice.fr              I want to set a variable to "mycommand p1.jpg p2.jpg p3.jpg" with a variable       numbers of jpg's. I wrote this batch:              set myorder=mycommand       for /L %%a in (1, 1, %1) do (       set myorder=!myorder! p%%a.jpg       echo %%a       echo %myorder%       )              but when I type mybatch 3 the second ECHO command gives always "mycommand"       instead of mycommand p1.jpg, mycomand p1.jpg p2.jpg etc.              set/? claims the ! instead of the % cures this problem.       --       Jean-Pierre Coulon              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
